About Marguerite

Dr. Marguerite Morgan brings a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-informed approach to counseling, blending evidence-based techniques with motivational interviewing to help clients address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns.

Background and approach

As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan, she draws on 33 years of clinical experience to support people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and identity concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, and a range of intimacy and family-related issues.

Her work integrates attachment-aware perspectives and client-centered principles alongside mindfulness practices to address parenting challenges, anger, bipolar mood concerns, coping with life changes, and additional areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and substance-related problems. Dr.

Morgan also attends to eating-related concerns, fertility and family of origin issues, and dynamics linked to divorce, domestic violence, and codependency. Dr.

Morgan’s background includes a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University and a Doctorate of Philosophy from Columbus University. She combines clinical training with lived experience as a widow, mother, grandmother, and church leader, offering a practice shaped by faith-informed values, recovery principles, and a results-oriented focus.

Integrating CBT and Attachment Work in Online Therapy

Dr. Morgan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients examine and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach often supports work on depression, anxiety, stress, and challenges with self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy is another frequent thread in her practice, which looks at relationship patterns and early bonds to understand current intimacy and family dynamics and to improve relational functioning and emotional safety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each person to explore goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then adjusts techniques from CBT, attachment work, or client-centered methods to fit the individual's needs and values in ongoing sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support across schedules. These options allow clients to continue progress with practical scheduling and communication choices that suit day-to-day life while working through relationship issues, grief, trauma recovery, parenting concerns, and other therapeutic goals.
